PP carrier is not recommended for softer grades, as the formulation hardness will be affected. If using a specialty overmolding grade, follow the coloring recommendations given on the individual product Technical Data Sheet. Harder grades (> 50 Shore A) will set up faster in the mold compared to very soft grades (< 20 Shore A).

In addition to the traditional petroleum-based BT218 grade, this portfolio also features a biopolymer alternative that contains 40% bio- derived content to support sustainability and meets the same strict performance requirements. Offering reliable performance, optical clarity and expanded design freedom, these medical- grade TPEs may be customized to meet specific regulatory demands or application needs. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Meets critical need for thermal weldability and kink resistance • Minimizes extractables during processing • Provides excellent tensile strength • Complies with USP VI and ISO 10993-4, -5, -11 certifications • Suitable for gamma and autoclave sterilization methods • Bio-based grade option formulated with nearly 40% Gen 1 biomass content PRODUCT OVERVIEW 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2023, Avient Corporation.

So we’ve developed the ideal TPEs for your infant care application, from materials that are durable and safe for baby contact to regulatory compliant grades and soft-touch solutions HOW GLS TPES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN INFANT CARE APPLICATIONS • Safe to Use – Made without bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, or heavy metals; select grades compliant with FDA, REACH and China GB4806 • Durable – Resists bites and tears; many are tested and safe to use in microwaves and dishwashers • Comfortable – Can be overmolded to provide a soft touch grip and customized to specific comfort requirements including vibration and noise reduction • Easy to Process – Can be injection molded and overmolded right onto a substrate including PP, ABS, etc

The Nymax BIO portfolio includes six grades that offer lower warpage plus excellent surface appearance and colorability compared with traditional PA66 glass fiber-filled materials. Four of them are low water absorption grades that deliver excellent dimensional stability and property retention after conditioning, solving the problem of water influence on finished parts. All grades can be customized further to meet specific applications requirements, such as for laser welding and flame retardant properties.

Versaflex™ & Versalloy™ Specialty Engineered Materials Thermoplastic Elastomers for Healthcare Applications Delivering specialized thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) solutions for demanding healthcare applications, Avient has performance-grade materials that are approved for USP VI, ISO 10993-4 and 10993-5. Formulated without phthalate plasticizers, several of our grades offer high clarity, bond to a variety of substrates and can be customized. Additional specialty grades span a wide durometer range and are formulated without animal derivatives for use in a broad range of applications.

These grades meet the performance challenges of chemical, fuel contact, and high moisture environment applications found in the industrial, electrical/electronics, and transportation industries. Explore specialty polyketone grades with enhanced lubricity and low COF performance. Explore specialty polyketone grades that go head-to-head with PA66, PA6 and POM.

Utilizing its formulation expertise, Avient is able to increase the overall percentage of recycled content in additional reSound R grades to over 80 percent at performance comparable to prime grades. These grades can replace traditional TPEs in personal care, lawn and garden, outdoor high performance, footwear, office supplies, houseware durables, and automotive applications.

The portfolio includes the HC8910 and HC8920 series for improved resistance to harsh chemicals and hospital-grade disinfectants over other flame-resistant (FR) polymers such as PC/ABS, PC/PET, and copolyester. Available in pre-colored formulations, they offer a sustainable drop-in replacement for fossil-based grades and can be processed and recycled in the same channels. It also contains more specialty formulations like the HC BT218 grade, which was developed specifically to handle the complexities of biopharmaceutical tubing and deliver excellent weldability, kink resistance, and low levels of extractables.

Maxxam™ REC, Maxxam™ BIO, and Nymax™ BIO grades: An expanded portfolio of recycled and bio-based polyolefin and polyamide formulations now manufactured in Europe. These grades can offer a more sustainable alternative to traditional grades while still achieving performance requirements in many applications and industries, including transportation, industrial, consumer, electrical and electronic, and building and construction.
